Looking for opinion on replacement radiator
i'm asking for some experience with manufacturers of replacement radiators. My original stock radiator has sprung a leak on the top of the core. Debating on which manufacturer to buy. Anyone have experience to share??? looking for a touring quality unit. Appreciate some opinions. Rick Jensen

X-2 Bergs, he claims that most of his customers say his radiator runs to cool, E-mail him and he will call you. If I didn't run a thermostat mine would run to cool.

Re: Looking for opinion on replacement radiator
I am happy with by Bergs but Brassworks is OK too. Just don't buy an off brand.

Re: Looking for opinion on replacement radiator
Yep: I already have one ordered from Gery @ Bergs. Just needed a pat on the back. After 60 years, I have as much invested in one Tudor as I would have in 2 Tesla's,,,But that said my Tudor will still be around when Tesla will only be a memory.

Re: Looking for opinion on replacement radiator
Good choice. I put a new Brassworks in my ‘29. It had a leak in the upper tank when it was brand new.

Re: Looking for opinion on replacement radiator
I recently researched new radiators and Bergs was $100 more than Brassworks but Brassworks seemed to have some issues with assembly. Yes!, go with Bergs, $100 is not worth any possible trouble.

Re: Looking for opinion on replacement radiator
I have been very happy with Bergs. 3 friends also are very content. You can’t argue with success!

And what did Lee at Brassworks say when you contacted him about the problem?

Re: Looking for opinion on replacement radiator
I installed a Brassworks a couple months ago. Well made, works well. Many dealers carry the Brassworks. If it wasn't good, they would not take that chance.
